(1) TRC believes net service revenue (NSR) best reflects the value of services provided and is the most meaningful indicator of revenue performance. (2) Excludes acquisition and integration expenses of $0.9 million for the three months ended September 25, 2015. (3) Excludes acquisition related expenses in note 2, net of an income tax benefit of $0.4 million for the three months ended September 25, 2015.

"In the first quarter of fiscal 2017, NSR was $124 million, up 24% from $100 million in the same period of fiscal 2016. The increase was primarily driven by our Oil & Gas segment, which we acquired during the second quarter of fiscal 2016, as well as by large projects in our Power and Infrastructure segments," said Chris Vincze, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Operating income was $6 million, $1.7 million lower than the $7.7 million reported in the prior-year period, while net income was $3.6 million, down $0.9 million, primarily due to a $1.9 million increase in amortization expense. EBITDA increased to $10.5 million, up $0.5 million, or 5% from the prior-year period. Our Days Sales Outstanding, or DSO, of 84 days was an improvement of six days from the 90-day result in the year-ago quarter."

Comments on Segment Results "In our Power segment, NSR increased 8% and segment profit rose 9%, compared with the first quarter of fiscal 2016," Vincze said. "The increases were primarily driven by several large capital projects, including a significant program management project in California. Environmental segment NSR and segment profit declined 5% and 9%, respectively, primarily as a result of a decrease in demand from our oil and gas clients, continuing the trend of recent quarters. In our Infrastructure segment, ongoing transportation-related spending by our clients drove a 23% increase in NSR and a 49% increase in segment profit year-over-year.

"Our Oil & Gas segment generated much improved results, despite continued uncertainty in this market. NSR of $21.3 million increased from $20.8 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016. Segment profit was $1.4 million, up from a segment loss in the fourth quarter," Vincze said. "The improvement in bottom-line performance is primarily related to higher productivity and the significant cost improvements we made in previous quarters to align our platform to current revenue streams."

Business Outlook "We are encouraged by the long-term prospects in each of our segments," Vincze said. "In our Power segment, demand from our utility clients, our current expansion in California and the ongoing shift toward program management work are driving revenue growth. We are working on significant state and public-private partnership projects that should fuel Infrastructure results in the near term. The capital spend slowdown in oil and gas continues to weigh on our Environmental segment. However, this should be partially offset by demand for services related to construction, transaction support, the retirement of coal plants and renewable energy. Our Oil & Gas segment appears to be stabilizing, and we expect to see a number of capital projects going forward. In particular, we see an increased level of activity and interest in our pipeline integrity-related services."
